Think about it. Married couples that decide to not have children are performing the ultimate selfish act: not having children because they don't fit in your plans and ambitions or will take up too much resources. A childless couple in their 70's and 80's is a sad thing. My next door neighbors were never able to have children and I believe that it bothered her until they day she died.

Don't expound until/unless you have all the facts. Some of know we'd have been bad parents, in which case HAVING children would have been the ultimate selfish act. Sometimes people from abusive homes choose to break the cycle by not procreating.
I have to ask, why should everyone have children?
I would make a lousey parent. I absolutely can't stand kids.
